Is there a meatpacking plant in your county that would explain the odd high Hispanic population?

We produce roughly 80% of the world's carpet and a majority of the world's floorcoverings. The Latino concentration in Hall County, GA is from the chicken plants, which just barely fell short of being included on this map (Con Agra, Pilgrim's Pride, etc)...there used to be more of those here, too.

If someone can make a gif of the two maps that would be great

I didn't notice it came out blurry until just now (must have something to do with the dimensions of the image), but there are plenty of GIF makers online that will probably do it correctly.

I made this GIF of the Hispanic growth in Texas (wasn't as big of a hit on here as I thought it would be). I think it's pretty cool though. Thinking about doing California too.

FWIW, I remember seeing this (I'm not sure I replied) and thought it was great!

I also found a GIF on Google of national Hispanic population by county from 1980-2011, but it was jumpy (the frames weren't lined up right) and it didn't have the years labeled. So I split the GIF apart and fixed these issues. Here it is.
